The Winner of our $500 Shopping Spree is…

Congratulations to Chris Peters for winning our $500 Griffin Shopping Spree

Congratulations to Chris Peters for winning our $500 Griffin Technology Shopping Spree!

We asked you what feature you were most excited about in the new iPhone 3G S. Chris’ comment was randomly selected, here’s what he wrote:

Just got mine this morning. I still had an original iPhone from 2 years ago. But there are actually two features that impressed me.

First, GPS is so freaking cool when your new to having it all the time in your pocket. The Compass will also help give me the excuse to be a true man and never ask for directions.

Second, the video camera is amazing! Quality is better than a $250 JVC SD Camcorder my mother in law just bought. The video feature was what helped me convince the wife that these were worth the money (she’s getting one too, her 1st.)

See we have a newborn little girl and we don’t have a video camera. Our Nikon D40 takes awesome “planned” stills. But for the cute, embarrassing, spontaneous, unexpected moments the iPhone 3G S’s camera is beyond perfect. We will always have our phones so there for we don’t have an excuse not to have video of her many first’s.

For us this feature made the new iPhone a no brainer.

Thank you to everyone who entered. We’ll be doing more giveaways and promotions soon, so stay tuned. Be sure to subscribe to our RSS feed and follow us on Twitter for news.

    Congrats Chris! I wonder if I were to get the 3GS, if we would shoot more video knowing that you can upload it right on the same device you shot it with. I've seen samples up on the net of footage taken on the iPhone 3GS and can say, it's not great, but it ain't bad either….in plain daylight anyway.

    Hello!

    Hi!

    I just made a loan to someone in Bolivia using a revolutionary new website called Kiva (http://www.kiva.org).

    You can go to Kiva's website and lend to someone across the globe who needs a loan for their business – like raising goats, selling vegetables at market or making bricks. Each loan has a picture of the entrepreneur, a description of their business and how they plan to use the loan so you know exactly how your money is being spent – and you get updates letting you know how the entrepreneur is going.

    The best part is, when the entrepreneur pays back their loan you get your money back – and Kiva's loans are managed by microfinance institutions on the ground who have a lot of experience doing this, so you can trust that your money is being handled responsibly.

    I just made a loan to an entrepreneur named 28 De Julio Group in Bolivia. They still need another $1,900.00 to complete their loan request of $4,950.00 (you can loan as little as $25.00!). Help me get this entrepreneur off the ground by clicking on the link below to make a loan to 28 De Julio Group too:

    http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=businesses&act…

    It's finally easy to actually do something about poverty – using Kiva I know exactly who my money is loaned to and what they're using it for. And most of all, I know that I'm helping them build a
    sustainable business that will provide income to feed, clothe, house and educate their family long after my loan is paid back.

    Join me in changing the world – one loan at a time.

    Thanks!
